The completely slimmed down Chu Jin, who no longer has the figure of a little chubby kid.

"Father, Mother, I’m back." Chu Jin excitedly stepped forward to greet them, smiling, showing a set of white teeth which made his tanned and lean face stand out even more.

"Not bad, you’ve grown taller." Chu Heng patted his shoulder, feeling somewhat complicated; the child who only knew how to indulge in pleasures in the past life, now after experiencing so much, has grown into a sturdy bamboo.

Ye Muyu looked him up and down for a while and saw that he was indeed in good physical shape, not appearing to be injured or unwell, then withdrew her gaze: "It’s good that you’ve returned safely." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Mother, I’ve brought some good stuff this time, you’ll definitely like it."

Chu Jin proudly raised his chin.

Ye Muyu didn’t dampen his enthusiasm: "Oh? What good stuff?"

"Look, colored glaze mirror, it’s incredibly clear to look at, women will surely love it. Mother, you won’t need to use a bronze mirror in the future." Chu Jin said, asking the servant boy beside him to bring over a wooden box.

Opening it, inside were several colored glaze mirrors of various sizes but exquisite designs.

Ye Muyu looked at the glass mirror in her hand without much emotional fluctuation, as she had seen too many before in her past life, but she understood it’s the child’s heartfelt gesture: "Hmm, I like it very much."

"Let’s go inside the house, and talk slowly." Chu Heng also recognized it; with his current vision, he wouldn’t be a thousand years apart from Ah Yu.

This feeling dispelled his previous unease.

The servants outside the Chu family, instructed by the Housekeeper, quickly pulled all five or six carriages that Chu Jin had brought back, into the house.

Meanwhile, Chu Jin had the servant boy take all the gifts prepared for his parents, sister, and brother to the main courtyard.

"Mother, there’s not just colored glaze mirrors, there are also pearls, jade, emerald, gold, and silver. Those overseas countries have excessive gold and silver reserves, and individuals can own gold and silver mines. As long as we have enough goods, we can exchange for Mountains of Gold and Silver," Chu Jin said, regretfully rubbing his face: "It’s too bad I took too few goods. Next time, I’ll definitely build a bigger ship and take more goods out to sell."

Ye Muyu tapped his head gently: "Going out to sea is like having a life hung on your belt; gold and silver are external objects, don’t let them blind you."

"Mother, I... I just feel regretful, okay, I should indeed be content," Chu Jin rubbed his head, feeling somewhat guilty, originally a bit overconfident, but now Ye Muyu’s gentle reminder brought him back to reality.

This success indeed made him very happy, feeling invincible, but Mother’s words were a sobering reminder, making him appear more composed than before.

"Did you bring back any grain seeds?" Ye Muyu had instructed him on this matter before he went out to sea.

"Yes, quite a lot." Chu Jin said, asking the servant boy to bring over an entire trunk of wooden boxes.

"Mother, look, these are potatoes, similar to the potatoes you discovered before, but the ones from Great Chu seem smaller, whereas these potatoes are very large."

"Not only that, there are also corn seeds; I heard from overseas people that just a few grains can grow into a stalk that can bear several corns, at least eight hundred to a thousand corn kernels with very high yield," Chu Jin said with some emotional fluctuation, remembering his amazement when he first saw this grain.
